DVR Usage And Replay TVAll recorded content with Elevate TV is stored “in the cloud” and not on your device. There is a limit to the number of hours available for your DVR storage, but Restart and Replay TV don’t count against your storage capacity. Restart and Replay TV are entirely new concepts, and something to consider before scheduling DVR programs.

HD ContentElevate TV offers FREE HD content included in the service. If we receive the channel in HD, we broadcast it to you in HD for no extra charge. If you are watching a channel that appears to be of lower quality picture, it is because the video content is being received in SD quality form the channel braodcaster.

Please refer to the online or printed Elevate TV channel guide up to see what content is offered in HD. The online guide can be found at elevateinternet.com.

ProfilesSet up to 5 different profiles for various members of the household. Elevate TV will capture the individualized watch history for each profile and offer personalized recommendations based on content viewed.

These work similarly to Netflix® profiles, where upon opening the Elevate TV app, one can choose which profile they wish to watch and the experience is catered towards that particular profile’s tastes and behavior.

To set up profiles, bring up the Main Menu and move over to the Settings icon and press «OK» or swipe with an Apple remote and select manage profiles.

NOTE: It is not required to create a profile. Elevate TV viewing features will work with or without a profile.

Parental ControlsTo restrict available content by ratings on Elevate TV, activate Parental Controls. Parental Controls constrain full view access to content rated R, TVMA or NC17 unless a PIN is entered. Full access to the content resumes after entering the correct PIN. It is highly recommended to at least set up a PIN number. This will need to be entered prior to viewing any mature content rated R, TVMA, or NC17.

The Parental Controls setting is either enabled or disabled and is accessed through the Profile Settings in the Main Menu. At first access, the user will be asked to create a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). This PIN number will be used to restrict access to the Parental Controls and mature content. One can also change or reset their PIN from this menu.

NOTE: Content that is restricted by the Parental Controls settings will still be viewable through the Picture in Picture display. Parental Controls are predicated on the content being rated. On occasion, one may encounter some programming not rated by the content provider. At this time, Parental Controls are limited to live TV viewing.

SearchThe Search feature is accessed through the Main Menu (it looks like a magnifying glass) and is an extremely helpful way to quickly access the show, episode, movie, or channel you seek. Search for show titles or channel names or numbers by navigating the provided cursor to each letter and pressing Select on the remote to add it to the search parameters. Elevate TV has an intuitive search program and will recommend search results after a few letters are selected. Select next to navigate to the results and press Select to access the desired content. Elevate TV will search for the request and deliver results across all your subscribed channels including:

⊲ Live TV⊲ Upcoming Live TV⊲ Replay TV⊲ DVR Recordings

NOTE: Certain recommended devices may allow for voice search capability through the manufacturers’ remote.
